The 24-year old singer, along with UMG Recordings and her producers, Carl Falk and Rami Yacuob, has been whacked with a lawsuit by one of the most successful indie rock bands over the years, Sleigh Bells, who claim her track 'Stars' contain similarities that "transcend the realm of coincidence" with their song 'Infinity Guitars'.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by Entertainment Tonight, "A comparison of the two songs reveals that, at the very least, the combination of the hand claps and bass drum, structured as 3 quarter beats and a rest, with the bass drum providing a counter-rhythm to the hand claps, is at least substantially similar in both works."
Sleigh Bells had tweeted, saying: ".@ddlovato Demi Lovato flattered you guys sampled Infinity Guitars & Riot Rhythm for "Stars" but we were not contacted. Gotta clear those (sic)."
At the time, Lovato's reps denied using the Sleigh Bells track, saying: "We did not use any samples in Demi Lovato's song 'Stars.'Demi was also not involved with the production.
